ritter Manus 3 Manual Universal Food Slicer & Bread Slicer Machine, Made in Germany

I am so pleased with this machine which was worth the wait and export costs from Germany….I tried another slicer before this which was flimsy with suction pads that did not adhere to any surface. This machine is excellent…..sturdy, and well constructed….I purchased it specifically for slicing my home made sourdough bread which is notoriously difficult to cut into even width slices…the width adjustment dial allows me to choose from a fine slice for sandwiches or a chunky slice for toast….its that easy! The guard helps when the loaf is nearly cut through and ensures your fingers are safe from the blade! I also like the holding bar that pushes the slices through and keeps the bread well away from the handle. The trick I’ve found is not to turn the handle too slowly- it needs a fairly quick movement….a soft brush wipes away the crumbs afterwards. Stack the bread neatly as each slice comes off the blade! I haven’t used this for anything other than bread at the moment, but the range of thicknesses should allow me to cut the thinnest of vegetables - I’m thinking cucumber, onions, courgettes, potatoes for dauphinoise (!) as well as slices of cheese and meat. I am happy that I paid extra for such an efficient way to cut my bread….if you are a sourdough baker, I highly recommend this machine for that alone….

Before this slicer, I had an electric slicer that broke almost immediately. I have used this to slice 100+ loaves of bread and it still works like new. I did drop the little sliding tray and it did bend, but I was able to bend it back straight...mostly. The thickness dial works amazing and allows for very fine control of thickness with no hassle. I've even done very thin potato chips with this.

Good product, great for sourdough.

Gute Schneidemaschine; schneidet auch Brot mit fester Kruste (selbstgebacken). Zwar war sie teuer, schneidet aber wie am ersten Tag. Leider etwas sperrig und nicht klappbar. Aber stabil. Beim Billigkauf zahlt man doppelt; musste die Erfahrung selber machen.

Had this for about a month now. Solid 9/10. Mostly easy to clean however make sure you are only cutting not juice meats because the juice did get into the cracks and I will now have to unscrew it to properly clean. For deli meat, cheese and bread it works beautifully and I don't want to live without it again! It makes cutting everything so much quicker. Love the easy dial to change the thickness of bread/meat/cheese to exactly what you want/need. Definitely worth the price.
